FOR STUDENT BOOY WILL BE DRAWN UP
New Constitution to Do Aaway With Features of Present One; To Centralize Authority and Responsibility in All Activities

April for Ratification; To Bind Colleges Closer Together According to
Originators

For the purpose of drawing up such a constitution, Manfred Evans, student body president, has appointed a committee, consisting of Walter W'at-son. chairman; Althea Hendrickson, Telford Work. Richard Class and Earl Banta.
The committee is already at work on the new document, and expects to he able to present it to the students of all the colleges for their ratification or amendment early in April.

‘All University Banquet’ To Be Great
Event of Four Years — 1500 Expected
ORANGE A.C. WINS BASKETBALL GAME
The varsity basketball team was defeated by Orange Athletic club Tuesday night, in the third game of the A. A. U. series, by a score of 50 to 17. Henderson, Sigler and Oertly were on the sidelines, Henderson being on crutches as a result of the game with Occidental.
The score is no story of the game, because every man wras on his toes from whistle to whistle, but the uncanny basket shooting of Swan, the little Orange forward, was too much for the Trojans.
Baker and Livernash were the University stars of the game.

TENNIS STARS COACH ICE HOCKEY TEAM
George Church and Fred Alexander
I.end Their Services to Trojan Ice Hockey Players
Ice hockey stock took a sudden rise yesterday when it was announced that George Church and Fred Alexander would coach the Trojan team during the rest of the present season.
Church is captain of the Eastern tennis team now playing on Bovard field. Alexander is one of the best bets that organization has to offer in the doubles matches. Both are experienced hockey players.
Church and Alexander began their new duties last night when they directed the varsity hockey squad in a practice brush with the hankers. Both expressed surprise at the ability shown by what were tw'o months ago green men.
Alexander attracted much notice last winter by his ice-tennis exploits. He states, however, that this sport will never achieve popularity.
"Expert tennis players are scarce.” says he, “and expert skaters are scarcer. A combination of the two is indeed very hard to find. Anyway the sport wasn’t as good us ordinary tennis.”
The services of Alexander and Church were secured part 1 y through the efforts of Robert F. Nathan. Ir

Copper Wire Thieves Active About Campus
The calendar was set ahead nine months in the last week in February, and a few hours later the progress of civilization was altogether halted, because the electricians who are wiring the new bleachers for electric lights left some w’ire on the sidewalk outside of Bovard field.
Some boys wrecked the calendar system and fate or something halted civilization.
The.boys treated the wire just as though it were Hallowe’en. They stretched it across the sidewalk just as though it w'ere October the last. That was where the calendar went out of business. Someone else came along and wralked off with 200 feet of the wire, and that was what halted world-progress in illumination.
